"Traditionally, literature makes much of the beauty of fleeting things and the delight of the bittersweet mixing of pain and pleasure. But no one ever said that heaven was seasonal or fleeting. Heaven is always portrayed as blissfully monotonous, one bright blue day after another forever and ever. Rather like California."

Happy Fourth of July!
It's one of my favorite holidays! It's not just because I get to wear my flag earrings or red shirts, either. I think that it's partly because it is universal to the entire nation. We're all celebrating the birthday and there is a positive sense of joy. Many places where we've lived have a big parade and everywhere has fireworks. There's no down side! So, go out there and pursue happiness and celebrate Independence Day. Next year, I think I really need to be in Washington D.C. again---it's a pretty awesome party.
